What do you mean?
Look, kid, just because
I'm in a bunny suit
doesn't mean I haven't stumbled
across some basic truths.
The feeling of being
insufficiently appreciated
I'm not common.
Course not,
but I'll bet you that even
Wolfgang amadeus Mozart...
who wrote a symphony
by the age of 3...
had some evenings there
"stop banging
on that damn piano."
But Mr. Mozart's dead
and I'm alive,
so I'll bet you that right now
I'm in more pain than he is.
Hard to argue with that one.
At this point,
I'd even settle
for Mozart's parents.
Unfortunately, you don't
get to make that choice.
The one thing we cannot control
is who our parents are.
You're dealt a hand,
you're stuck with it.
It's not like baseball, where
you can become a free agent
and try to get a better
deal with another team.
Another team...
This is real life, kid.
The rules are different.
I got to get back upstairs.
You want my advice...
and I know
you didn't ask for it...
go home, make up, and goodbye.
And that was it.
Nothing special.
I just left him there
in that secret spot of his,
just him and his thoughts.
Free agency.
What a scoop!
A kid becoming a free agent,
then offering his services
as a devoted son
to the highest-bidding
set of parents.
It's brilliant, north,
simply brilliant!
This still isn't for sure yet.
This could be my Watergate.
Winchell, you put out
a two-page leaflet
with a circulation of 90.
Might land me a pulitzer.
I told you this as my friend,
not as editor of the
school newspaper.
I'm a journalist, north.
You never said this conversation
was off the record.
I need time to think.
I'll hold the story,
but a few more displays
like that panther game,
and some parents
may start doing
That damn panther game.
And that geography test
we took today?
What about it?
You got a 34.
Chicago's in Africa?
Mexico... an island
off the coast of Montana?
Where'd you get this?
I'm a journalist, north.
I can't reveal my sources.
How I got this test
isn't important.
Why you got this grade is.
Your instincts are correct.
You need new parents,
and you need them now.
Unless...
Unless what?
Unless you haven't
got the guts.
I've got more guts than
anybody in this town.
Eh, talk is cheap.
I just feel I owe it
to my parents
to give them one last chance.
What can I say?
You came to me,
sought my counsel.
The rest is up to you.
No, no, that's o.K.
Thanks, anyway.
North wanted to give his folks
every chance to keep
the family together.
He tried his mom,
but she was too busy
rerouting the himmelmans.
